February bus - all aboard for bfps

[TinyPawz]

There doesn't seem to be a February bus yet but that is where I need to be because of longish cycles.

I'm 35 (how did that happen??)
ttc #2 (Dd 9)
Cycle far too many
Mc 9 weeks Jan 15, mc 5 weeks Nov 15.
Cd1
Etd 1 Feb

Strike-though fail

Just putting DD to bed - she comes and pats my tummy and says "What's in your big belly? It's a BABY! Mummy, can I have a baby sister?"

I'm currently 12dpo and tested this morning with a negative result I'm secretly hoping is to early. Keep thinking i have symptoms sore boobs, nausea, CM, but then it could just be AF on her way!
I don't remember trying so hard with my other 3. Ever so slightly obsessed.

Temp drop right down to cover line this morning, so AF tomorrow. Didn't even bother catching FMU. Chocolate for breakfast ....

Oh sorry giraffes for you X

I'm on CD2, good luck to you all X

Thanks mini, I'll try those. Sorry kellz and giraffe - hopefully the next cycle is luckier.

DH has just found out how much the acupuncture costs and is not happy. I hadn't told him and I just lied about how many sessions I've had but he'd seen the payments as he was looking at our joint account on my banking app and then went into my current account because I've been unable to save any money for the past few months so he was looking to see why.
I feel sick.

Oh dear nenehooo. Has he calmed down? It's strange how TTC doesn't take our DHs like it does is, isn't it? Even when they're great dads and keen for another DC. They don't ever seem to feel the same sense of urgency/desperation over it. I don't think you can even explain it to them. for you.

Thanks giraffes. He's talking to me again, but he was so upset and I spent most of the day crying. Think it'll take a while for him to trust me again, and I can't help thinking that if I do get a BFP soon, it'll be an added stress that we don't need. Feel awful

Hope things are ok nene. And sorry to all who are/think they're out this month. Fx for March!
Self-indulgent ramble alert. I don't know what's going on with me. Day 2 of very light brown spotting. Cramping too. Feel like Af is imminent but only cd21. Have never had a cycle shorter than 27 days, usually more like 30-34. Still no +ve opk, and only successfully dtd once this month, 5 days ago. Failed attempt last weekend (dh failure so I guess there's a very outside chance a summer may have been released but feels unlikely). So none of it makes sense! And it's annoying me! I'll be quiet now.

Hopping on! I was on Dec / Jan bus, then stopped abruptly when Navy DH's patrol plans changed. THEN they changed about four times in one week, we went out for dinner and got hammered, then DTD regardless. Woke up the next day and had a hungover life chat where we decided that actually, we could make this work, if we waited for the perfect guaranteed point that DH would be home for all the best bits we'd be waiting a decade, we'll just have to keep having hundreds of DCs until he's experienced every bit of it overall. So I'm back!

Failed miserably in last minute drunk DTD during what we think was ovulation o'clock, but just spent a weekend in a lodge in Somerset. DH is away next month, so I'll jump from Feb bus to April bus if this round doesn't result in a BFP.

Minilop I totally stole your friends story in the hungover justification "someone was telling me a about their friend and a few weeks after the dad came home it was no different to any normal!". So if I'm successful this month you get to take some credit

Ah Kate I'm so glad it helped! welcome back!!

CD20 here and no signs or symptoms whatsoever. On the positive side I'm off work this week so I guess that leaves open the opportunity for a guilt-free glass of wine or two. I know technically you're not out until AF arrives but I'm not feeling hopeful this month.

Cd 21 here - no symptoms for me either, though I'm remaining a tiny bit optimistic, as I didn't have any symptoms when I was pregnant with DS until the day before AF was due. Enjoy your wine kitcat!

Hey guys sorry for all the shitty bfn's. I think I'm destined to be a bfn this month. According to my opk's I think I'll probably ov tomorrow on cd14. Dh isn't home til cd17. Too late for the eggy to live that long I think

Oh no weechops fingers crossed that you get an extra day at the last minute.

DH is away until Friday but he only left today. Apparently Friday is when the shutters come down, so we DTD today and hopefully will have time on Friday too. I've told DH that my next husband is going to have a job where he works from home, far too much hassle with all his travelling!

kate I'm bloody hating his job right now! But Im kind of kicking myself too - he asked what I thought would be the best dates this month for him to fly home, and up until then my cycles were never less than 30 days so Friday should have been perfect Typical that just as the flights are booked they jump to 28 days!!

Uck well at least we have a shot at the start of April. Even if they stay 28 days or jump back to 32 days, he should be home at the right times in April!

Oh and I just did another opk and got a solid smiley. sigh....

It's always the way weechops, DH and I were supposed to have all this week off, but BOTH our respective employers decided that we were needed in work instead, although we managed to wangle today off. Had my face on when my boss apologised for the inconvenience, but managed to get a grip hold it together enough to stop myself from telling her she could be cheating me out of a baby. ----

I don't feel that positive about this month, not in a drama llama negative Nellie way honest. But there's something in my bones telling me it's just not gonna happen in Feb. DH is away for March so I'll be pole vaulting into the April bus which is SUCH a ballache.

I swear to god, sex education made out that you got pregnant just THINKING about sex, why did NOONE mention it was this much of a faff lottery?!

This TTC lark sucks. All I'm hearing at the moment is baby news - it's making me very impatient!

Hi ladies, I'm 10 dpo and ttc#1. I've just taken my first pregnancy test - what do you think?

Looks like a bfp TeaGirl. Congrats!!

Congrats TeaGirl!!
